All the staff were so kind, helpful, and overall welcoming. They went above and beyond to ensure our stay was perfect. We were by a window over the trash area, and close to the fire station so there were some louder moments when we weren’t expecting them but overall great stay.

The customer service was exceptional. We were married by the courthouse in Santa Barbara and we stayed here right after our ceremony and the staff did everything to make our visit extra comfortable and fun because of it. Our room was clean and the bed was so soft and comfy. I loved their plush pillows. The location of the hotel is perfect,it's just walking distance from downtown activities. We will definitely be back.

It was nice staying at the Kimpton, The valet guys are really nice and careful that they had a couple bikes for guest to use,my beautiful wife and I went bike riding for most of one day, which was awesome.The in-house bar was beautiful, clean and nice but everything was ridiculously priced. My wife got a mock tail and it was like over $20 and I don’t want to even tell you how much my double margarita was. The rooms are OK. My toilet was leaking. I had to wiggle the knob and the water pressure wasn’t that good. I like good water pressure in the shower overall, I give it about a four star.

This hotel was the highlight of our roadtrip! The hotel was very pleasant and the restaurant was amazing. The location for walking to the pier and browsing shops along the way was a perfect day. If ever in Santa Barbara again, we will definitely stay here.

Super cute hotel with such a welcoming atmosphere. The staff was incredibly friendly - from valet to the front desk, as well as everyone at the restaurant and bar. I especially loved that they offered a texting option for any requests, which made everything feel so convenient and seamless. The room was spacious with modern furniture and very comfortable beds. The walls were a bit thin, but thankfully it never got too noisy during our stay. Also - the vanilla latte is a must. So good! I’ll definitely be back and would absolutely recommend staying here.
